We do usually take up an offering during the service. However, you should feel under no obligation to give anything. We give as part of worship and monies received are allocated to support various Christian charities home and abroad and to further the churches work here in Holland on Sea. Occasionally, there might be a collection for a special purpose or charity, this would be explained during the service.

After the service do come through to the hall for refreshments and chat to one of our leaders or welcome team. (All wear name badges). Please complete a welcome card and let us know your comments or leave a message in our visitors book at the welcome desk.
